Batman's Allies and Associates

Jim Gordon

Voiced by: Christopher Meloni

The commissioner of the Gotham Police Department.

Action Dad: Once he finally pulled out of his depression by his daughter, Gordon goes to kill all of Two-Face's goons and beats Two-Face without any of Batgirl's help.
Actor Allusion: Gordon's only a hair's width from sinking into becoming Meloni's Happy! character.
Adaptational Badass: It takes some time, but once he actually gets his act together, he's probably the most effective version of Jim Gordon seen in any Batman media. An out-of-shape Gordon puts on a clean police uniform, marches into the GCP headquarters with two guns and lays waste to Two-Face's entire gang, knocks out Two-Face and tosses him in a cell. All on his own. Then in the Season 2 finale with the whole GCPD behind him, he arranges an infiltration of Poison Ivy's wedding by having officers replace every single member of the staff, replacing all the centerpieces with plastic flowers rigged to spray knock-out gas, and oversees the ceremony himself as minister. Had Gordon's plan succeeded (and it very nearly did), he would have captured several dozen high-profile supervillains without any aid from Batman and the Justice League.
Adaptational Jerkass: This version of Gordon is more of a trigger happy glory hound than any previous incarnation, being prone to pulling reckless stunts in order to be validated as a hero. Though given his general treatment in the show, his desire for validation is somewhat understandable.
Adaptational Ugliness: Gordon usually looks fairly upright and clean-cut. Here, the man sports a constant five o'clock shadow, huge bags under his eyes, and a generally frazzled, sloppy appearance. This was done deliberately to show how stressful it would really be to work in Gotham City and it's proven in flashbacks that Jim was actually well-groomed and physically fit until Two-Face betrayed him and the stress of the job finally got to him.
The Alcoholic: It's implied in the first season with his disheveled appearance, but by Season 2, with Gotham in ruins, he's seen drinking straight from the bottle when he tries in vain to signal for Batman.
Attention Whore: Gordon desires fame and wants to be seen as Batman's friend and equal. In season one, he takes a tank and tries to fight the mutant trees with a small squad of soldiers despite Batman's protests and is put out of the fight when the Quinn Crew hijack the tank.
Badass Normal: Whilst he might be going through a rough time in his life, this is still the Commissioner Jim Gordon. When he gets his act together, Two-Face learns this the hard way.
Because You Were Nice to Me: Even Gordon's Only Friend Batman doesn't take Gordon's unstable condition seriously. Gordon develops a quick friendship with Clayface's sentient right hand, who is the only one who has been willing to listen to his personal life's problems, not judge him and give him wise advice. Even after the hand gets reabsorbed into Clayface, Gordon can't bring himself to shoot Clayface and hurt the hand.
Butt-Monkey: He's exponentially the biggest one of the series, and unlike the other Butt Monkeys, his misfortunes are nearly all of his own making, and he repeatedly messes up his own attempts at pulling himself out of the gutters he sinks himself into.
Carpet of Virility: No wonder why the Joker was picking hair out of his teeth for weeks after eating sushi off his body. It makes more sense in context with Harley and the Joker celebrating in the past.
Casting Gag: A nervous wreck of a cop voiced by Christopher Meloni, best known for playing a tough, put-together detective in the Law & Order franchise.
Crazy Enough to Work: Actually, Gordon's plan to arrest the villains and stop them was actually really good. Well thought out. Until it went off when Harley came and stopped him.
Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of The Commissioner Gordon. This version of Commissioner Gordon is a realistic example of how stressful it would really be to be in charge of a city that's full of corrupt government workers, bent and underprepared cops, and superpowered criminals who either want to be rich, take over the city, or simply kill for the fun of it. Gordon is incredibly lonely in his position because his war on crime is unappreciated, he has no friends, his marriage is falling apart, (to the point where doesn't even blame his wife, Barbara, for cheating on him) does 24/7 nonstop day-to-day grunt and paperwork, and his drinking problem has gotten the better of him. This is also reflected in his design as he's overweight, has sunken eyes due to sleeping problems, his personal grooming has fallen to the sidelines as his mustache is messy, his stubble has grown out, and his hair is unkempt. Co-creator Justin Halpern even discussed this.
Justin Halpern: What would Commissioner Gordon actually be like if he was the Commissioner of the Gotham Police Department, saw what he saw every single day for 27 years, and never went to therapy? What would that look like? He'd be so fucked up and constantly on edge. He's got a thankless job, he's doing the day-to-day grunt work, filling out all the paperwork, and he's oftentimes maligned. That ultimately drives a man to madness. His marriage is falling apart, he's drinking too much, and has no real friends.
Despair Event Horizon: Batman's disappearance, the police force abandoning him coupled with his wife asking for a divorce causes Jim to lose the will to fight crime.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: All he wants is some basic gratitude for doing a thankless job, but the world seems dead set against giving him anything back for all the years he's put into it.
Emasculated Cuckold: He reveals to Batman in Season 1, Episode 6 he's discovered his wife Barbara is cheating on him... and he honestly can't blame her given what a complete wreck he is.
Et Tu, Brute?:
- After Gotham falls into chaos, all of Gordon's officers abandon him and join Bane's faction. This nearly drives poor Jim to the Despair Event Horizon.
- When Gordon runs for mayor, his own department subordinates and even his daughter see him as utterly incapable and abandon his candidacy.
Fatal Flaw: His desire for approval and validation from Batman is what causes some of the problems for Jim. He befriends Clayface's hand because the latter praised him for what he does and listens to his problems (which causes him to let the Quinn Crew go out of grief because the hand was reassimilated into Clayface's mass) and he's built up as the villain of Season 3 because Two-Face convinces him to run for mayor after Jim felt besmirched for being denied a key to the city as reward for saving the town.
Formerly Fit: Prior to Harvey Dent's transformation into Two-Face, Jim was a fitness enthusiast when he was in more control of his stress.
Hero Antagonist: Gordon is still the commissioner of Gotham City's police department and he's trying to bring justice to Gotham City, which naturally puts him into conflict with Harley and Ivy.
He's Back!: Learning that his daughter is Batgirl seems to motivate him enough to dump out his booze and head back to Gotham P.D. headquarters, where he singlehandedly takes out Two-Face's crew and throws Two-Face in jail.
He Who Fights Monsters: Later in Season 2, Gordon slowly becomes obsessed with arresting Harley in order to get the president of USA to accept Gotham City back into the country. After Harley escapes from Arkham and runs away from the city with Ivy, Gordon is ready to resort to any methods to capture Harley, dead or alive, completely disregarding the safety of himself and civilians to accomplish it. It reaches the point where Batman intervenes and calls out Gordon for being no better than the supervillains he's chasing. Batman asks Nightwing and Batgirl to help him stop Gordon before he does something he can't go back from.
Horrible Judge of Character: He fails to see why trusting a villain called "Two-Face" isn't a good idea. Even Two-Face is baffled that Gordon didn't see his backstabbing coming, more than once.
Impaled Palm: When Two-Face tries to stab him with a knife, Gordon stops it with the palm of his own hand.
In-Series Nickname: Gordo.^noteSpanish (and Portuguese) for "Fatso"
I Just Want to Be Special: Gordon wishes just to be thanked, showed some gratitude for all his effort. Thus he tries to arrest all the villains and decides to listen to Two-Face in running for mayor to finally be thanked like Batman.
It's All About Me: His entire motives in everything he does pretty much become this.
I Was Quite the Looker: Before the job crushed his mind and his spirit, Gordon was fit, clean-shaven, and had no grey hairs.
Jaded Washout: Early in Season 2, his Trauma Conga Line has reduced him to a cynical, depressed man who lazes around his daughter's dorm in his underwear.
Jerkass Ball: In the season 2 finale, he and his police force attack during Poison Ivy's wedding to arrest all the attending villains, ruining her wedding day.
Let's Get Dangerous!: His takeover of the police station in Season 2 Episode 7 is this. After a season and a half of watching him fall apart a little more every episode, it's relatively surprising to see that yes, there is a reason he was able to keep his job as long as he did.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: After doing everything alone to save Gotham, he's shunted aside by 3 lesser-known heroes and the mayor himself. Still reeling from this monumental show of ingratitude, especially since these heroes and the mayor did nothing to earn the keys to the city, Two-Face convinces Gordon to run for mayor so he can finally get the respect he rightfully deserves.
Must Have Caffeine: He's clutching a mug of coffee during every scene he's a part of in the first episode.
Nervous Wreck: He's constantly on edge due to his job and requires Batman to reign him in when he's too invested in his own analogies.
No-Respect Guy: Seriously, nobody respects Jim in this series. In spite of all the hard work he's put into keeping Gotham safe and practically destroying his own sanity in the process, everyone in the city think he's the problem for not doing enough to keep them all safe. Even Batman has his limits with the Commissioner, which doesn't help his fragile self-esteem. When Season 2 shows that everyone except him got a key to the city for helping to clean it up from the villains (despite the fact that most everyone didn't have anything to do with it), Jim is persuaded by Two-Face to run for mayor. At the start of Season 3, this disrespect shows in full force when everyone in Gotham accuses Jim of refusing to clean up the streets in his quest to throw Harley and Ivy in Arkham with everything he's got.
Papa Wolf: He's beyond pissed after Joker shoots Barbara, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. When Harley sends the villain to him, Gordon plans to torture him to get back at him for what he did to his daughter.
Parent-Child Team: After he snaps out of his drunken funk, he begins working with his daughter, Batgirl, to restore Gotham city.
Perma-Stubble: He has a five o'clock shadow beardstache but it's actually because Jim's been neglecting his personal grooming out of stress.
Post-Final Boss: With Big Bad Doctor Psycho already defeated and imprisoned in the penultimate episode of Season 2, Commissioner Gordon is manipulated by Two-Face into crashing Ivy's wedding for the sake of giving the finale an antagonist.
Running Gag:
- This version of Gordon has a tendency to (much like Scully from Brooklyn Nine-Nine) give Too Much Information about his health problems, such as his anal polyp or STDs.
- He also has a tendency to matter-of-factly state his personal flaws or traumas with complete awareness about how they affect those around him, seemingly not making any effort to change them.
Sanity Slippage: Staying in charge of a Wretched Hive like Gotham has taken a distinct toll on the man, leaving the poor guy a mess. One conversation with Harley nearly puts him in a frothing rage and Batman is the one that reigns him in.
Seriously Scruffy: Due to the stress of being the commissioner of Gotham City, Gordon has grown out his stubble and his traditional chevron moustache has become messy and overgrown. Combined with his baggy eyes, quick-temper, and messy hair, he's been working round the clock to handle Gotham's rogue gallery and the trauma of doing so has prevented him from sleeping comfortably.
Sidetracked by the Analogy: When Harley mentions going on an all-inclusive vacation with the Joker, he rants about how "all-inclusive" is BS because they charge you for little amenities. Batman snaps him out of it.
So Proud of You: He ultimately desires approval from others for doing his job and wants Batman to see him as his equal. However, Batman refuses to acknowledge Gordon as anything more than just a work partner.
Wants a Prize for Basic Decency: Justified, Gordon is the only heroic character who's paid to do good for the city but unlike the cops outside of Gotham, he's going toe-to-toe with villains who have; magic, superpowers, mutations, drugs, advanced technology, and better firearms than the Gotham City Police Department. Gotham should be grateful that Jim is only asking for validation and approval, not suing them to high heaven for underfunding the police department and letting countless citizens suffer from the rampages of supervillains.
We Used to Be Friends: Back when he was fit and more mentally stable, he was best friends with Harvey Dent, Harvey's transformation into Two-Face may have been the catalyst for his mental breakdown. After a motivational speech from his daughter, Jim defeats his former friend and locks him up.
While You Were in Diapers: During an argument with Batgirl, he boasts that he's dealt with Gotham's criminal element since Batgirl was in bat-diapers, not knowing that Batgirl is in fact his own daughter.

Alfred Pennyworth

Alfred Pennyworth (The Macaroni)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_alfred.png

Voiced by: Tom Hollander

Faithful butler to Bruce Wayne and trusted companion of Batman.

Action Dad: He's Bruce Wayne's father in all but blood, and he can hold his own in a fight.
Adaptational Badass: While Alfred has always been capable of meeting force with force, this incarnation becomes a masked hero in Batman's absence.
Adaptational Hairstyle Change: One of the rare versions of Alfred in animation who still possesses a full head of hair.
Agent Peacock: He dresses up as the Macaroni, a 19th-century Englishman dandy with make-up and an Awesome, but Impractical wig that contains an arsenal.
Battle Butler: Unlike other incarnations who are only Bruce's Parental Substitute and snarky butler, Alfred joins the fight against crime after Gotham becomes a hellhole and his master is recovering from serious injuries. "B.I.T.C.H" also shows him easily fending off and disarming an enraged Harley with nothing but a broom.
Beware the Nice Ones: Alfred is always unceasingly polite, but he easily takes down mooks just fine.
Beware the Silly Ones: His own costumed hero outfit as the Macaroni looks like a walking "Kick Me" sign, according to Bruce. He's still effective to fight off some goons.
The Caretaker: He looks after Bruce after he's gravely injured after failing to escape from the Joker's collapsing tower and forbids him from going back to fight crime until he's fully recovered.
Covert Pervert: When Dr. Psycho projects footage of Harley and Ivy hooking up to all of Gotham, Alfred closes the curtains in disapproval... and then immediately peeps through them.
Heavy Sleeper: Batman's new armor flies around all over Alfred's bedroom and that still fails to wake him up.
Hired Help as Family: Alfred behaves more like Bruce's adoptive father than his butler.
Leitmotif: Whenever he appears as the Macaroni, an English theme of "Yankee Doodle" plays.
Mythology Gag:
- Alfred's hairstyle here closely matches that in Pennyworth.
- The Silver Age of Comics had Batman with a bunch of allies and villains who adapted historical-period costumes as their motifs — the Cavalier remaining the most remembered of these today.
Obfuscating Stupidity: His choice of costume and moniker must have been intended to make everyone underestimate him and hide just how effective he is. Even Bruce was taken in and scoffed at first.
Only Sane Man: In all of Wayne Manor, in all of Gotham, Alfred is the constant voice of reason. He ends up being the only member of the Bat-Family that Harley's able to bond with as he's nowhere near as fixated on their immature idea of justice.
Papa Wolf: He saves his surrogate son Batman from Two-Face's goons.
Parental Substitute: Alfred raised Bruce after the loss of his parents.
Precision F-Strike: Being a british gentleman, Alfred doesn't swear, except for one occasion when fighting Harley. Even then, he still sounds Sophisticated as Hell:
Harley: Step aside, or I'm gonna have to FUCK YOU UP!
Alfred: [nonchalently] I wish a bitch would try.
"Reason You Suck" Speech: More of a "reason you aren't capable yet speech", but Alfred rips Bruce a new one for wanting to go back to fighting crime immediately after emerging from his coma and currently being unable to walk.
Satellite Character: His entire life revolves around serving his master Bruce. This gets deconstructed in Season 4 where Alfred goes through a crisis due to being separated from Bruce while the latter is in jail and goes to extreme lengths to be reunited with him, even committing crimes to end up in jail with him.
Servile Snarker: "British dry wit" may as well be Alfred's mother tongue.
Unfazed Everyman: Alfred is nigh unflappable, a result of years in Batman's service.

Lucius Fox

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_lucius.png

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

A brilliant engineer who builds Batman's assortment of gadgets.

Gadgeteer Genius: It wouldn't be Lucius Fox otherwise.

Thomas and Martha Wayne

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/24fbb573_243e_4a51_9c90_7257e969f41d.jpeg

Voiced by: Diedrich Bader (Thomas Wayne)

Gotham's most beloved philanthropists and Bruce's parents.

Came Back Wrong: Bruce uses Frank's powers to bring them back, it doesn't work out right.
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Bruce's only truly happy memories are from the time his parents were still alive.
Mercy Kill: King Shark puts the zombified Thomas and Martha down a second time on Bruce's behalf.
Posthumous Character: They've been dead since Bruce was eight.

Gotham Civilians

Tawny Young

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_tawny.png

Voiced by: Tisha Campbell

A reporter and talk show host.

Combat Commentator: Engages in talk show banter to the camera while a tag team of supervillains (and Batman) are slowly tearing her stage apart.
Crowd Chant: Just like Jerry Springer or Ricki Lake, Tawny's audience chants her name when they get excited, or, in this case, when the Joker throws her into the stalls.
Cuteness Proximity: Finds Robin so cute that she can't think straight. She even calls him "a sweet potato pie".
Go-Karting with Bowser: Her talk show appears to be a platform for both heroes and villains to tell their stories.
Ink-Suit Actor: Her appearance draws more inspiration from her voice actress Tisha Campbell-Martin than her comic book counterpart.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: While she is a minor DC character, this version of her is clearly modeled on Wendy Williams: both are blunt African-American women with lightened hair who host self-titled talk shows.
Shipper on Deck: When Ivy and Harley have an Almost Kiss moment after Batman pushes them against each other and they fall down, Tawny and the rest of the audience gasp in excitement with Tawny also sporting a smile at the scene.

Joshua Cobblepot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_joshua.png

Voiced by: Sean Giambrone

The Penguin's nephew, whose bar mitzvah is crashed by Harley.

Bestiality Is Depraved: Implied when Bane discusses his credit card expenditure.
Bane: The credit card is for emergencies only, but your bill is all candies and vape pens, and something suspiciously labeled "Dolphin Encounter".
Daddy's Little Villain: Uncle's little villain, more rather, as the Penguin hopes to see the young lad grow to be a fine supervillain.
Disproportionate Retribution: He puts a million dollar bounty on Harley's head because she ruined his bar mitzvah. When Bane scolds him for it, Joshua admits he was being "impulsive."
A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Like lots of people everywhere who get their first ever credit card before they even understand how using it works, he thinks it means he's got easy cash and goes overboard on spending.
Jewish and Nerdy: Such a stereotypical nerd that Harley Quinn is able to talk him out of killing her by playing on his insecurities.
Jewish Complaining: Complains that all he wanted was an action figure set.
Spoiled Brat: Uses an emergency credit card to purchase vapes, candies and a "dolphin encounter".
Stupid Crooks: Puts out a hit on Harley Quinn using a credit card instead of cash.

Herman / The Cowled Critic

Herman Cizko

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_herman.png

Voiced by: Mark Whitten

Doctor Psycho and Giganta's son and a figure who reviews the crimes of supervillains.

All Genes Are Codominant: The son of a dwarf father and a giant mother is average-sized.
Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: Reconciles with his father once he learns that Psycho made his childhood hell because the latter saw so much evil potential in him and wanted to give him a Freudian Excuse, not because Herman fell short on being evil. They then tearfully state how much they hate each other as they embrace.
Caustic Critic: He runs a website aimed at critiquing supervillains.
Child by Rape: It's not brought up, but he is a result of his father mind-controlling his mother into loving him.
Embarrassing First Name: One of the many things he resents his father for is naming him "Herman".
Evil Sounds Deep: His voice is several pitches deeper in his Cowled Critic reviews. It's not known if it's digitally altered to sound deeper or if he can do it naturally.
Freudian Excuse: Invoked on his father's part. Doctor Psycho deliberately made Herman's childhood a living hell so that he would grow up to become a supervillain.
Friendless Background: According to Herman, the reason why he doesn't have many friends is because his father killed anyone who showed any sign of liking him.
Goth: He dresses like a typical Goth teenager.
Hates Their Parent: He has a Dartboard of Hate with Doctor Psycho's picture in his room. Given that Doctor Psycho gave him the worst childhood he could give to his son, Herman is justified to hate his father. Their relationship does improve after both admit how proud they are of how evil the other is.
Loved by All: Downplayed. As the Cowled Critic, he's very popular online in the supervillain circle, enough that he's the only internet critic whose opinions the Legion of Doom takes seriously, including his opinions on who should be invited to join them.
Overlord Jr.: His father is relieved that his abuse of his son appears to have the desired effect, and he seems to be embracing the supervillain lifestyle.
Phoneaholic Teenager: While his parents are arguing on a talk show, he is constantly on his phone.
Skull for a Head: Wears a Cool Mask that gives this impression as the Cowled Critic. The "jaw" of his mask moves in tune with his mouth movements.
Superpowerful Genetics: The tie-in comic one-shot The Real Sidekicks of New Gotham shows he inherited both his father's Psychic Powers and his mother's gigantification ability.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: All he ever wanted was to impress his father, being afraid that his father abused him so horribly because he wasn't evil enough. They make up when Doctor Psycho praises him for the first time, telling him how proud he is to see his son has grown up to be evil enough to make a malicious review about his own father and his new supervillain team.

Nora Fries / Mrs. Freeze

Nora Fries

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_nora.png

Voiced by: Rachel Dratch

Victor Fries's beloved wife who suffers a terminal medical condition.

Adaptational Backstory Change: In the comics, Nora is a ballerina and she and Victor were college sweethearts. In the show, their story is a Shout-Out to You've Got Mail: The couple hit it off via online dating, neither knowing Victor wanted to buy out her family's small cryogenics lab.
Ascended Extra: Nora didn't play much of a role in Batman: The Animated Series or the source material comics that later incorporated her beyond serving as her husband's motivation. Here Victor dies shortly after he is introduced and Nora goes on to be a supporting character and friend of Harley.
Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance: She is just as ice-themed as her husband, with pale skin, platinum blonde hair, and light blue eyes.
Commitment Issues: In Season 3, the death of her husband has left her unable to emotionally connect with any of her flings beyond base sexual gratification. This causes a conflict with Swamp Thing when he thinks they're a couple after a one-night stand and gets pissed when Nora tells him she was just playing with him.
The Dragon: After Ivy becomes CEO of the Legion of Doom, Nora effectively becomes her second in command.
Get Out!: Screams at Harley and the gang to leave her to grieve over Victor's body and doesn't appreciate them casually discussing what they learnt right in front of her when they are the ones responsible for Fries' Heroic Sacrifice in the first place (even if he chose to do it himself).
Happily Married: She and her husband loved each other very much, to the point he devoted his life to finding a way to cure her terminal illness.
Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Following her husband's death, she becomes a party girl. She's so good at the "hard-drinking" part, in fact, that she manages to drink Harley, Ivy, and John Constantine under the table.
Has a Type: In season 4, it appears she wants to rekindle what she has missed out with Victor in her suspended animation by hooking up with villains that have an ice theme such as Captain Cold.
Human Popsicle: Nora was frozen in a block of ice as a crude means of suspended animation. Freeze intends to unfreeze her only when her disease can be cured, but an ignorant Harley thaws her out early.
I Banged Your Mom: Gender-Inverted. Tefé gets annoyed that Nora keeps bringing up that she banged their father.
Jerkass: Nora's refusal to enter another serious relationship upsets a few of her sexual partners like Swamp Thing and Bane.
Knight of Cerebus: Once Harley unfreezes her, the episode takes a much darker turn as Harley realizes Fries really did freeze Nora to keep her alive, and Fries threatens to make sure Harley and her crew die along with him if Nora dies.
On the Rebound: She loses her husband when he sacrifices his life to give her the blood transfusion that saves her life. By the time of her next appearance in "Bachelorette", she hooks up with Maxie Zeus both during and after the party.
Sex for Solace: She is grief-stricken at her husband's death. Afterwards, she copes by going from one fling to another, but doesn't form a serious relationship with any of them due to her developing serious Commitment Issues.
Undeathly Pallor: Nora is noticeably pale, a result of her illness, being frozen, or both. Her complexion is rosier when Victor's blood transfusion cures her condition.
The Vamp: In a way, Nora plays this role while with Harley and Ivy, and then when Ivy hires Nora to be her LOD assistant, since Ivy declines to play this herself.
Women Prefer Strong Men: In "Bachelorette", she's starts fanning herself after seeing Maxie Zeus, and as soon as he approaches her, she immediately jumps on him and starts hardcore making-out. She also has a fling with Swamp Thing in "It's a Swamp Thing", who is one of the most powerful beings on the planet.

Darryl and Wendy Brown

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/darryl_and_wendy.png

Darryl voiced by: Andy Daly

Wendy voiced by: Jessica Walter

Kite Man's parents who unlike him, do have real superpowers.

Abusive Parents: They are verbally abusive to Kite Man every time they speak to him.
Flight: Wendy has the ability to fly.
An Ice Person: Darryl has ice powers.
Mythology Gag: The power that the Browns have implies that they were Coldsnap and Windfall of the villains team, the Masters of Disaster.
Shipper with an Agenda: They approve of Ivy marrying Kite Man only because she has superpowers since that increases the possibility that their grandchildren will have superpowers too.
Why Couldn't You Be Different?: They were disappointed that Kite Man was born without super-powers like they were, as well as unimpressed with his kite-themed villainy.

Bethany

Voiced by: Justina Machado

A nurse and single mother who plays a minor role in the second and third seasons. She is the Joker's new girlfriend, having started dating him in his temporary amnesiac state.

Action Mom: For a nurse practitioner, she is able to hold her own pretty well against Harley Quinn herself.
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Double Subverted. She fell in love with the Joker when he was an innocent amnesiac, but still loves and supports him when he regains his memories, Monster Clown appearance and penchant for violence. She's even ecstatic with her children when he announces going back to crime in Season 4.
Beware the Nice Ones: She's a kindhearted nurse and good mother, but she has quite the temper. It's a good idea to leave her criminal boyfriend and children alone if you know what's good for you...
Car Fu: When Two-Face kidnaps Benicio and is about to hurt him and Joker, she rams into him with her car.
Combat Medic: She's a nurse, but is able to give Harley a run for her money in a fight.
Common Law Marriage: She isn't married to Joker yet, but he's living at her house and is helping raise her children as if they were his own. Her children even call him "dad" already.
Death Glare: She gives one to Joker along with a Scare Chord when he deems his mayor campaign as more important than Benicio's soccer game. It's enough to scare him, but not change his mind.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Did she just slap The Joker and cursed him out in Spanish?
Florence Nightingale Effect: She found the amnesiac Joker and nursed him back to health after the collapse of his tower. They soon started dating and are now living as a family with her two kids.
Go Through Me: In "Killer Block", she tells Harley she's gonna have to kill her if she wants to know where Joker is. She ends up cooperating when Harley points her weapons at her children.
Gratuitous Spanish: Her dialogue in Spanish is unsubtitled.
Hospital Hottie: An attractive practioner nurse who caught The Joker's eye.
Ink-Suit Actor: Bethany is drawn specifically to resemble her VA, Justina Machado.
Mama Bear:
- When racist soccer mom Debbie Shirley got her children out of the Spanish dual-immersion program (and got her own children in despite not being of hispanic heritage), she was ready to get her hands on her before Joker takes the matter into his own hands.
- When Joker tells her Two-Face has kidnapped Benicio, she drives Sophia to safety before rushing to the rescue and ramming her car into her son's kidnapper. She pulls out a torque wrench and is about to turn Two-Face into "No-Face", but is stopped by Joker (of all people).
- In "Killer Block", Bethany refuses to tell Harley where Joker is after he paralyzed Batgirl. It's only when she poses a threat against her kids that she cooperates.
Morality Pet: She and her kids are the only human beings Joker has ever come to truly love and care about. His relationship with Bethany shows he's capable of falling in love for real and having a healthy relationship despite how he cruelly abused his ex-girlfriend Harley. Even when the Joker returns to villainy in Season 4, he still loves and cares for his family nonetheless.
No Full Name Given: Only her first name is known.
Satellite Love Interest: She doesn't have a role in the series aside from being Joker's new girlfriend.
Second Love: To Joker. The difference is, while Harley was nothing but a pawn for him to use and abuse for years, Bethany reintroduced genuine love into his life by falling for him when he was a "nobody". After gaining his memories back, Joker has to accept the fact he's truly in love with Bethany and wants her to be part of his life.
Spicy Latina: She's shown to have a fiery temper and is not scared to cuss out the Joker in Spanish. Most likely Puerto Rican given the specific kind of Spanish she's using.
Thicker Than Water: When Harley comes to get back at Joker for crippling Batgirl, Bethany initially refuses to sell out her lover. When her children try to join the fight, Bethany immediately surrenders and lets Harley take Joker away.
Tsundere: Sweet type. She's a kind mother and selfless nurse, however she has one hell of a temper if you get on her bad side. Even Joker gets scared when she's angry.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: You know what's scarier than The Joker? A woman ready to fuck up anyone who tries to hurt him:
- In "A Fight Worth Fighting For": during a montage of Joker's time with Bethany, he accidentally crashes their car into a large, bukly man's car and Bethany steps up with a broken beer bottle to protect him from the angry driver. Sure enough, the man runs away.
- She fights Harley to protect Joker when Harley wants revenge for Batgirl being shot by him. However, she gives up on it due to Harley threatening to harm her children.
Walking Spoiler: It's hard to bring her up without mentioning Joker's temporary amnesia and eventual return in Season 2.

Sophia and Benicio

Voiced by: Sammi Corona Lampa (Sophia) and James Corleto (Benicio)

Bethany's children and Joker's step-children that he comes to see as his own.

Tropes applying to both

Ambiguously Absent Parent: It's unknown whether their biological father died or walked out on them.
Corrupt the Cutie: Even if the Joker truly loves his step-kids and never left a finger on them, his violent ways rubbed off on them as they are supportive and even thrilled when Joker tells them he goes back to crime, and later try to fight Harley with weapons that should not be within reach of children their age.
The Cutie: Both of them are cute children, but mostly Benicio.
Disappeared Dad: They didn't seem to have a father before Joker started dating their mother.
Evil Laugh: Does this along with Joker when he tells them he's going back to villainy.
Extremely Protective Child: Both of them threathen Harley Quinn with a butcher knife, a meat hammer and a bike chain when she fights their mother for Joker's location.
Let's Get Dangerous!: Arm themselves with a knife, meat hammer and a bike chain when Harley Quinn attacks their mother for Joker's location.
Morality Pet: To Joker. Their interactions with him are possibly the most humanizing he has in any media, which says a lot considering Joker usually has no qualms hurting children. Joker helps them with their homework, wants to get them into a Spanish program to make them proud of their Latino heritage, and doesn't hesitate to put the mayoral campaign aside when Two-Face kidnaps Benicio.
Nightmare Fetishist: Are not scared of The Joker at the slightest, even being excited when he announces going back to villainy. While Benicio wants Joker's poison gas for his science project, Sophia seems more excited to have her step-dad kill others for her, such as her P.E. coach.
No Full Name Given: Like their mother, their surname is never mentioned.
Parent with New Paramour: When they first met their stepfather (before he remembered he's the Joker), they seemed a little cold to him. They quickly warmed up to him after he brought them a puppy and they welcomed him into the family.
Satellite Family Member: They're completely normal children with no relation to the supervillain world outside of their stepfather being the Joker. They only appear to show Joker's domestic life and serve as his Morality Pets.
Suddenly Voiced: Have silent appearances in Season 2 before they are seen talking in Season 3.
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: Both are shown to be ecstatic when Joker announces going back to crime, with Sophia asking if he can blow up her P.E coach and Benicio wanting poison gas for his science project. They are later seen threatening Harley Quinn with weapons when she breaks into their home for Joker's whereabouts.

Sophia

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_2023_10_19_200933.png

The older sibling.

Affectionate Nickname: Joker calls her "Soph-Soph".
Cute and Psycho: Hinted at. She asks Joker to blow up her P.E. coach, showcasing a penchant for violence.
Daddy's Girl: She adores her step-father, even if he's the Joker. Borderlines on Daddy's Little Villain when she asks him to blow up her P.E. coach.
Flat Character: She has far less characterization than Benicio, who at least got screen time of his relationship with Joker in "The Killing Vote". Though in Season 4, she's shown to have a greater Troubling Unchildlike Behavior compared to her brother.
Girlish Pigtails: She's a little girl with two short pigtails.
Improvised Weapon: She arms herself with a meat hammer when Harley Quinn breaks into her home for Joker.
Little Miss Badass: While she isn't seen in action, she was ready to face Harley Quinn with a knife AND meat hammer. Gotta give it to the kid, she has guts.
Sophia: (points her knife at Harley) Get out of our house, clown!
Harley: You don't want to do this!
Sophia: Try me.
Pink Is Feminine: Her main outfit includes a pink shirt.
Psycho Knife Nut: She points a butcher knife at Harley in order to protect her mother and Joker from her wrath.

Benicio

The younger sibling.

Affectionate Nickname: Joker calls him "Benny".
Bound and Gagged: By Two-Face on a broken rollercoaster in order to blackmail Joker.
Bully Magnet: He's bullied at school for his Spanish name.
Chain Pain: Downplayed as he uses a bike chain, but Benicio was ready to fight Harley to defend his parents.
Distressed Dude: He's kidnapped by Two-Face in "Joker: The Killing Vote" in order to make Joker quit the Mayor campaign.
Embarrassing First Name: Other kids at school make fun of his Spanish name. He even asks to be called "Ben" to not stand out, worrying his parents.
Improvised Weapon: Uses the chain of his bicycle as a way to scare Harley into leaving his house. It doesn't work, but points for trying.
Protectorate: To Joker. He's ready to give up the mayor campaign when Two-Face threatens his life. His mother also attempts to turn Two-Face into "No-Face" for kidnapping him.
Wacky Parent, Serious Child: He's a fairly levelheaded and normal boy and his stepfather is, well, Joker.

Cheryl

Voiced by: Lake Bell

A southern, red-haired member of the GCPD.

Badass Normal: She must be one to keep on surviving; even all the way into an apocalyptic future, unlike... well... pretty much the rest of the human race.
Brawn Hilda: Becomes one for a single episode thanks to Bane sharing his Venom. Harley still managed to fracture her arm and beat her down.
Creator In-Joke: Lake Bell voices Cheryl with a southern accent and Bell voices Poison Ivy, who originally had a southern accent in the comics.
Easily Forgiven: Despite betraying Gordon for Bane, she is accepted back into the GCPD without any fuss.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Her moral compass is very unsteady. First she works for Gordon as a cop, then when Gotham falls into chaos and becomes New Gotham she works for Bane, and then when Bane falls she goes back to working for Gordon, and in an apocalyptic future she raises Harley and Ivy's daughter who betrays her own moms to Damian for a bag of dirt.
My Friends... and Zoidberg: Gordon is constantly forced to punctuate his speeches with, "...and Cheryl".
Parental Substitute: In a possible apocalyptic future, she was a mother figure to Harley and Ivy's daughter, Neytiri, whom they neglected due to constantly arguing.
Recurring Extra: She inexplicably survives multiple deadly situations just to keep the joke going.
The Smurfette Principle: The only named female cop in Gotham.
Southern Belle: Has the accent along with often calling others "sugar".
Unfazed Everyman: The wackiness of the situations she finds herself in never seem to disturb her enough for her not to snark about it.

Joe Chill

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/72dab079_28fd_48d8_aba9_c8203f82051c.jpeg

The killer of Thomas and Martha Wayne.

Famed In-Story: Infamous for his killing of the Waynes, to the point he has an honorary award named after him at the Villy's.
Scary Teeth: He has big yellowish crooked teeth.
Suspicious Ski Mask: He wears a black ski mask that just screams killer thug.

Debbie Shirley

Voiced by: Amy Sedaris

A suburban mom from Bethany's neighborhood.

Big Eater: Despite demeaning the Joker's offering of arroz con pollo, she polishes off the whole thing during the span of their short conversation. It freaks the Joker out not only because it was big enough to feed a whole family but because there were bones in it that are not there anymore.
Bullying the Dragon: She willingly antagonizes the Joker despite knowing full well who he is and that he's perfectly capable of killing her. He just doesn't do it because it could cause consequences for his family.
Hate Sink: She's an unpleasant and racist soccer mom who can even give the Joker nightmares.
Horrifying the Horror: Again, she's an unpleasant and racist soccer mom who give the Joker catapult nightmares.
Ink-Suit Actor: Like a few previous civilian characters, she resembles her own voice actress.
Mean Boss: She's implied to be this to her maids, considering one of them regularly tells her "I spit in your food" in Spanish (not that she's aware of it).
Obnoxious Entitled Housewife: She's a wealthy snob with a stranglehold on the PTA at Sofia and Benicio's school who uses her position to bully Joker and his family, seemingly because Bethany and her children are Hispanic.
Politically Incorrect Villain: It's implied that she's bullying Bethany's family for being Hispanic, and she demeans the Joker's arroz con pollo as an "ethnic dish". She's also implied to be a Mean Boss to her Hispanic maids.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: She has basically replaced Batman as Joker's archnemesis and living nightmare, except that their animosity is only about Debbie being an Obnoxious Entitled Housewife and getting her children into the Spanish school program that Joker wanted for his stepchildren (who are actually Hispanic, unlike Debbie's kids).
Two First Names: Her last name is Shirley, which is commonly a given name.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: She's the one who inspires the Joker to run for mayor by bragging about how that's the only person who could ever supersede her authority.

Main Characters' Friends and Families

Nick and Sharon Quinzel

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nick_and_sharon.png

Nick voiced by: Charlie Adler

Sharon voiced by: Susie Essman

Harley's parents, for lack of a better word.

Abusive Parents: They were the emotionally abusive kind towards Harley her entire life, never showing her real love and being dismissive of her wishes and skills. They move into physically abusive when they try to beat, stab and shoot her for her bounty.
Adaptational Villainy: Both are far worse than their comic counterparts. Harley's mother in the comics was shown to at least care about her and disapproved of Nick's conman ways, while Nick was ready to shoot the Sportmaster's brains out if he didn't leave Harley, and forced the Sportmaster's minions to save Harley's friends. Here, both hatched a plot to have Harley assassinated.
Adaptation Personality Change: Sharon is more relaxed in the show than she is in Gotham City Sirens, presumably because Barry and his kids don't live with her in the adaptation.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg: They fold like paper when Harley is able to dominate them in a fight.
Apathetic Citizens: Their only concern regarding their daughter's transformation into a city-threatening supervillain is how it affects their standing with their neighbours.
Bait the Dog: During most of their debut episode, they act like flawed but caring parents, and repeatedly show love and support to their daughter. Harley even manages to reconnect with her father after they fight the mob together. Then comes the twist of their Parental Betrayal during the climax of the episode: they are the ones who hired assassins to kill Harley in order to collect her bounty.
Broken Pedestal: Harley genuinely loved and respected her mother, unlike how she felt about her father. That changed when her mother tried to kill her.
Bullying a Dragon: The only reason they made any headway when they tried to double-cross Harley was because she was going easy on them, and even then they lost. But considering that she used to be the Joker’s right-hand woman and is just as bloody minded as he is at times, it honestly shows how fundamentally shallow and stupid they are. The only reason they walk away is because Harley doesn’t consider them worth the effort of killing.
Curb-Stomp Battle: They're just normal people up against the Joker's former henchwoman, there was no way they could last against her, even with hired assassins.
Dissonant Serenity: Right after shooting his own grown-up daughter, Nick talks to Harley like she was 9 and he just had to cancel a trip to the park.
Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Averted. Neither seems particularly fazed when Harley's grandparents are murdered in front of them.
Expy: Of Al and Peg Bundy from Married... with Children. But at least Al stuck by his kids whenever they had trouble, and would never collect a bounty on them.
Female Misogynist: Sharon is implied to be a downplayed example of this. She insisted that her daughter marry a doctor, and was not satisfied with her becoming one, implying that she follows the outdated traditional belief that men are more important than women.
Fingore: Nick is missing his two thumbs, one from a past run in from the mob and the other from getting it shot off as Harley is saving him from the mob in the present.
Formerly Fat: Sharon used to be overweight.
Hate Sink: Nick is a gambling addict who asked his teenage daughter to throw a gymnastics competition so he could win a bet he placed against her, has been in and out of prison for Harley's entire life, and hired assassins to kill his daughter so he can collect the bounty money on her head to pay off his debts. Even with some of this Played for Laughs, he is a despicable human being and treats Harley just as badly as the Joker did, except he's her father. Her mother Sharon turns out to be no better.
Hypocrite:
- Nick and Sharon plead with Harley to not hurt them; Nick states that "family don't kill each other" right after he tried to kill his own daughter for money.
- Similarly, Sharon blames Harleen and her transformation into Harley Quinn for making her and Nick the laughing stock of their neighborhood, but thinks nothing of the possibility of Nick being such a deadbeat being the real reason. She even says Harley always had bad taste in men. Harley calls her out on both of these.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Nick and Sharon are initially presented as deeply flawed parents who nonetheless seemingly still care about Harley deep down. Then it's revealed that they tipped off assassins to kill their own daughter just to collect a finder's fee.
Jewish Mother: Up to eleven. Sharon complains that all she wanted was what every Jewish mother wants; for Harleen to marry a doctor, while wiping the blood off a knife pulled from a body. Harley pointing out that she is a doctor doesn't deter her mother, either.
Karma Houdini: While Nick loses his remaining thumb and gets beaten to a pulp, the only comeuppance Sharon gets is having some of her property destroyed and being given a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and Harley decides that they're Not Worth Killing.
Kosher Nostra: Sortof. While not exactly a mobster himself, Nick's entire life seems to revolve around them.
Lady Drunk: Harley says so about her mother in "Being Harley Quinn", saying her mother recycled a lot of wine bottles when Harley was growing up. To be fair, Harley says she was a little shit back then.
Lack of Empathy: It's very telling that despite their daughter's own flaws, she has people she honestly cares about and has some lines left that she doesn't intend to cross. They, on the other hand are manipulative, shameless monsters who care for nothing and nobody, to the point that they didn't give a hoot when even their own parents got offed right in front of them.
Matricide: While it isn't clear whose mother she is, Harley's grandmother dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
No Accounting for Taste: Nick is a deadbeat who gets gets repeatedly thrown in jail for crimes and debts. Every time he's released from prison, Sharon takes him back without question, much to Harley's disgust.
"Not So Different" Remark: Harley admits she has bad taste in men like her mother, but she is not a deadbeat and traitor like her father.
Offing the Offspring: They try to kill their own daughter after finding out there was a million dollar bounty on her.
Outliving One's Offspring: Their son and Harley's brother, Barry, died in his teens.
Parental Betrayal: Right after they make Harley think they love her and welcome her into their home, they outright try to kill her to collect her bounty.
Patricide: While it isn't clear whose father he is, Harley's grandfather dies from the actions of Harley's parents trying to kill their daughter.
Pet the Dog: Sharon admits that she only wanted to do what was best for Harley in the most passive aggressive way she could. She probably felt that when Harley became a criminal, she was a lost cause. It kind of helps that Harley was angrier and more hateful toward her father than her mother.
Politically Incorrect Villain: They're both highly sexist, never having encouraged Harley's dream of being president because she's a woman and only wanting her to marry a doctor despite her being one. They're both also extremely prejudiced towards the Irish.
The Sociopath: Potentially both of them. Nick more obviously since he is a conman who puts his own skin before his daughter's dreams and even tries to have her killed. While Sharon is nicer, she drops the façade once Harley fails to die after the second assassination attempt and seems to have a very controlling view of her daughter's life. Both put on the mask of caring about Harley while still secretly plotting to have her killed to collect on the bounty for her. Also, neither of them seems particularly perturbed by their own parents getting killed in front of them.
Villains Want Mercy: They try to kill Harley and beat her bloody to get a million dollars. When Harley gets the upper hand and holds a cutter on Nick's neck, they pathetically beg her to spare them because they're "family". Harley is so disgusted that she deems them Not Worth Killing.
Walking Spoiler: Their Parental Betrayal is the big twist of their debut episode.

Barry Quinzel

Harley's dead brother.

Age Lift: Barry is alive and well in Gotham City Sirens, and he is a guy around his late-20's/early-30's with multiple "wives" and kids. In the show, he died as a teenager and was cremated.
Death by Adaptation: Barry is alive in Gotham City Sirens as an adult, but he died as a teenager and was cremated in the show. As consequence, Harley's nephew Nicky and niece Jenny weren't adapted for the show.
Death of a Child: He didn't make it past his teens.

Mr. Isley

Voiced by: Jim Rash

Poison Ivy's abusive father who emotionally scarred her in childhood.

Abusive Dad: Ivy's father used to beat her. On top of that, he also killed her first plant to make her pay for catching him sleeping with the maid. He also seemed to revel in pointing out that she had no friends.
Hate Sink: An emotionally and physically abusive father who is the main reason Ivy grew up into a misanthropic Eco-Terrorist.
Unnamed Parent: His given name is not mentioned.

Jennifer

Voiced by: Mary Holland

A childhood friend of Ivy's who becomes one of her bridesmaids. Develops a... shall we say... temper.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Is first seen operating much like a normal contemporary housewife on a bachelorette trip, if slightly bitter over not being maid of honor. By the end of the trip, she's seen drinking from a skull after helping the crew attack Eris and her controlled Amazons, to the tune of biting off one's neck.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Did you just throw the goddess Eris over a balcony?
Disproportionate Retribution: The thing mentioned above was done because bottomless mimosas were not included in the resort's package.
Fire-Forged Friends: Jennifer rejects being called "Jen" until after she takes part in saving Themyscira with the other girls.
Ink-Suit Actor: Jennifer strongly resembles her VA, Mary Holland.
Man Bites Man: As per the spoilered part above.
Teach Her Anger: Of sorts. Neither Ivy nor Harley seem to put in such an effort, but basically she becomes more willing to commit violence - and better at it! - the longer she's around them. So, pretty much, self-taught.

Tabitha

Voiced by: Mary Holland

King Shark's wife through an arranged marriage.

Altar Diplomacy: She was arranged to marry King Shark, to keep the peace between the Shark Kingdom and the Hammerhead Clan.
Non-Mammal Mammaries: She's a humanoid shark woman with breasts.
Pet the Dog: While she decides to raise their firstborn by herself, she lets King Shark raise the rest of their children and tells him he'll make a decent father.

Other Superpowered Individuals and Affiliates

Lois Lane

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_lois.png

Voiced by: Natalie Morales

Intrepid Reporter for the Daily Planet and Superman's girlfriend.

Damsel in Distress: Harley's crew hold her prisoner after she writes a bad article on Harley. Not that Lois cares that much, seeing as she has Superman looking out for her. To quote Poison Ivy, "You can't fuck with Lois Lane".
Intrepid Reporter: But again, it's fairly easy to be intrepid with the whole living god as her boyfriend thing.
Protectorate: Messing with Lois puts you on Superman's radar. Good luck.
Satellite Love Interest: In this series, Lois is only presented as Superman's love interest and Harley kidnaps her hoping it'll get her the chance of making Superman her Arch-Nemesis.
Unfazed Everyman: She shows a decided lack of concern over the fact that a team of criminals take her hostage. But when you have Superman taking you on dinner dates on a regular basis, you'd probably wouldn't be concerned about some C-list villains either.

Jason Praxis

Voiced by: Phil LaMarr

The sole survivor of the Praxis family reunion massacre.

Actor Allusion: He's not the first Shock and Awe character Phil La Marr has voiced.
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Instead of just his niece, his entire extended family is murdered.
Adaptational Superpower Change: In the comics, he had telekinesis that supposedly stem from an ability to control electricity. Here it's a simpler case of Shock and Awe.
Bungled Suicide: Losing his entire extended family led Jason to end his life by throwing himself into a STAR Labs electric fence. Unfortunately for Harley’s crew, he survived his suicide attempt and gained superpowers.
C-List Fodder: A pretty obscure character which makes him fair game to be brutally murdered by the Queen of Fables.
Composite Character: Oddly enough his electrical powers are more reminiscent of Richard Redditch, the Serial Killer from his origin story.
Death by Adaptation: He is alive in the comics, but died here.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Harley mistakes him for a girl due to his pony tail.
Freak Lab Accident: Parodied - he threw himself against the electric fence around STAR labs. The Queen of Fables outright calls how obvious it is that he got powers from it.
Hero Antagonist: He's completely justified in wanting revenge, but ends up against the team since his target is a friend of theirs.
Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The Queen of Fables kills him with a spear through the head.
Large Ham: His heroic monologue about his desire to avenge his family. This annoys the Queen of Fables, who's clearly used to hearing these speeches.
Shock and Awe: He threw himself against the STAR Labs electric fence, giving him these powers.
Sole Survivor: He's the only one of the Praxis family to not have been killed by the Big Bad Wolf because Harley pretended there was no survivors when she spotted him. The Queen of Fables personally kills him towards the end of the episode anyway.
Victim of the Week: His episode has him getting killed by the Queen of Fables after Harley foils his revenge.
Yank the Dog's Chain: He is killed right after he is tricked into believing he has avenged his family and can move on with his life.

Amanda Waller

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/564c62f3_cc8d_4280_86bc_c4339684a1fa.jpeg

Voiced by: Tisha Campbell

Head of the Suicide Squad team. She has repeatedly pestered Harley to join up.

Adaptational Jerkass: Zig Zagged. Waller was never a nice person, and always had a short fuse, but she was a far more stoic individual unless her plans were unraveling around her. After Harley kidnaps her and she sends Plastique to rescue her, she escapes the destroyed remains of Edin by Flipping the Bird on both fingers towards her would-be-kidnappers.
Adaptational Wimp: She's typically depicted as near-impossible to outmaneuver or ambush. Harley gets the jump on Waller and brings her back in a sack, just like Harley did to Robin.

John Constantine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hq_constantine.png

Voiced by: Matt Ryan

An unscrupulous private eye who dabbles into the world of the occult.

The Informant: Knows how to contact Swamp Thing, but is a barely tolerated scoundrel.
Occult Detective: A detective whose brief cameo is to help contact the supernatural Swamp Thing.

Etrigan

Voiced by: John Stamos

A demonic prince of hell. He runs a magic shop in Gotham.

Power Perversion Potential: He may have mastery over magic, but he mentions to Bane that most of his shop's profits are from sex spells (which, to his credit, do work).
Rhymes on a Dime: Harley lampshades that selling sex spells while speaking in rhymes is creepy.
Etrigan: I may have just the spell. And I'll throw in some cleaner to, you know, take away the smell.
Harley: It's like 40% creepier that you make it rhyme, but, you know, whatever.

Other Civilians

James Gunn

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/97ec59dc_73ad_46cc_842f_270d13b6508b.jpeg

Voiced by: Himself

The prolific director who's currently working on the Wayne's biopic.

Actor Allusion: Guest starring on a show about Harley Quinn after directing a movie with Harley Quinn a year earlier.

Billy Bob Thornton

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/88b48b52_f4b4_4e02_b8de_77a82ad51510.jpeg

Voiced by: Himself

The highly acclaimed actor playing Thomas Wayne in a biopic.

Off with His Head!: Is decapitated by Catwoman’s tiger after mistaking its room for the bathroom.

Mama Nacaroni

Voiced by: Janeane Garofalo

The cousin of the founder of the restaurant with the near-identical sounding name, Mama Macaroni, and the best pasta maker in Italy.

Big Ol' Eyebrows: She has large eyebrows.
Brick Joke: Earlier in season 4, Jim Gordon mistook the restaurant's name for Mama Nacaroni, only to be corrected by Barbara. A few episodes later, it's revealed that the founder's real name is Nacaroni, but it was changed by the U.S. government at Ellis Island.
Broken Pedestal: Bane was happy to learn from her on how to make pasta so that he could please Nora, developing deep respect for her. That respect becomes fear when Mama attempts to force him to stay and take over for her against his will.
Not So Above It All: While she's clearly a hard-nosed traditionalist fanatically devoted to the old ways, even she can't resist a trip to Las Vegas and seeing one of its shows — specifically Clayface's, of all choices.

Year 2048 (Unmarked Spoilers)

Neytiri

Voiced by: Zosia Mamet

The daughter of Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy from a possible apocalyptic future.

Amazing Technicolor Population: She inherited Ivy's green skin, though it's slightly lighter than her mother's, likely to reflect her other mother, Harley's, bleached pigment.
Ambiguously Human: She mostly looks human, but has the green skin tone that Ivy got due to being mutated by a Freak Lab Accident. Yet it isn't shown whether she inherited Ivy's chlorokinesis. It is unclear if she's actually human, one of Ivy's plant clones, or machine-created like Harley's hybrid potato-clone was. The idea that Harley and Ivy used in-vitro fertilization to conceive her is also in the realm of possibility, though that begs the question of which one of them carried her. If the in-vitro possibility is correct, then it's possible that Neytiri's green skin and bleached hair is a result of her respective mothers' altered biochemistry. Still, that raises the question of how much she falls onto the human scale and how much she falls onto the humanoid plant scale.
Antagonistic Offspring: She sells out her mothers to Damian in exchange for a bag of dirt.
Casting Gag: An antagonistically hostile offspring of Harley's (and Ivy's) voiced by Zosia Mamet, who played the collateral-damage ex-friend of Kaley Cuoco's character in The Flight Attendant.
Electronic Eyes: Her right eye is cybernetic.
Freudian Excuse: She's antagonistic and treacherous towards her mothers because they neglected her. Harley also thinks that being raised by Cheryl gave Neytiri backstabbing instincts.
Hates Their Parent: The main reason she sells out her mothers so easily to Damian is because she always resented them, since they spent so much time arguing with each other that they neglected her.
Hereditary Hairstyle: She has Harley's platinum blonde pigtails, though hers are somewhat more unkempt.
In-Series Nickname: Harley hates the name Neytiri picked for herself and calls her "Princess Ladyfingers".
In the Hood: When introduced, her head is covered by a hood until she reveals her identity to her mothers.
Kid from the Future: She meets her mothers, Harley and Ivy, when they travel to her post-apocalyptic Bad Future.
Never Given a Name: Her mothers, due to always arguing, never picked a name for her. She had to pick her name herself, on the first day of kindergarten, no less.
Patchwork Kids: She has Harley's bleached blonde pigtails and natural blue eye color. She also has Ivy's green skin and square face.
Rebel Leader: Subverted. She claims to be the leader of La Résistance in a future dystopia ruled by Damian, but she's actually working for Damian to sell out her mothers.
Statuesque Stunner: She's even taller than Harley and Ivy themselves, who are usually estimated to be 5'7" and 5'8", respectively.
White Hair, Black Heart: She has Harley's bleached blonde hair and is a much worse villain than either of her mothers, as neither of them ever tried to sell out their own family to an Evil Overlord.
Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: Harley and Ivy laugh out loud when they hear she shares the same name as the lead heroine in the movie Avatar. As Harley guessed, they didn't give her that name and Neytiri gave it to herself.

King Baby

Voiced by: Gary Anthony Williams

The only surviving shark humanoid in the apocalyptic future and one of King Shark's children.

Last of His Kind: In his future, he's the only shark man left after the apocalypse.
Shark Man: Like his father, he's a shark-human hybrid.
Token Good Teammate: He's the only one in Neytiri's team who genuinely likes Harley and Ivy, and ends up saving them when Neytiri sells them out to Damian.

Future Damian Wayne

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/future_damian.png

Voiced by: Jacob Tremblay

The version of Damian Wayne in the apocalyptic future.

Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, Future Damian famously became the new Batman and managed to hold his own in an increasingly dystopian Gotham whose crime element had only gotten more advanced. This take on Future Damian idles in his control room and has gained a massive gut from his lack of physical activity.
Beard of Evil: In the Bad Future, Damian grew a beard and became an Evil Overlord who collects supervillains and superheroes.
The Collector: He has a giant fridge where he keeps all the supervillains and superheroes encased in ice.
Evil Overlord: He's the tyrannical ruler of the dystopia that Gotham City becomes in the Bad Future.
Face–Heel Turn: From Batman's sidekick to an Evil Overlord.
Formerly Fit: This future version of Damian clearly left himself go, having grown from a fit kid superhero to a Fat Bastard.
Hereditary Hairstyle: His hair and beard are like those of his maternal grandfather, Ra's Al-Ghul.
Orcus on His Throne: He rules over a dystopian Gotham from his fancy hover-chair. When the power goes out, he gets pins and needles when he has to stand.
Psychopathic Manchild: He still has present-day Damian's Bratty Half-Pint attitude even as a grown man, but he's become even worse as a tyrannical overlord who freezes superheroes and supervillains alike (including his own father) and collects them like action figures in a giant fridge. It also doesn't help that his voice hasn't changed much from the present day, making him sound younger than he is.
Self-Made Orphan: One of those he froze alive was his own dad.
Vocal Dissonance: He's already a middle-aged man, but still has his preteen boy's voice.

Characters / Harley Quinn (2019): Others

Edit Locked
